Are you in the Central Secretariat Service (CSS) or a Nodal Officer involved in performance appraisals? You might have faced hurdles in tracking the different stages of Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) completion within monitoring software. Good news: a vital communication from the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions highlights a crucial solution to streamline this process. It points back to existing acknowledgement slips designed to capture data at every step of your APAR journey. These slips are not just paperwork; they are essential tools to ensure accurate and timely recording of progress, from submission by the officer, through reporting officer comments, to final review. For comprehensive guidance, all necessary instructions and forms, including these very acknowledgement slips, are accessible on the official persmin.nic.in website under DOPT Central Secretariat, CSS, and ACRs General Instructions. Embracing these tools will significantly ease the administrative burden and improve the efficiency of performance management for CSS officers.
